The tempo, and the dramatic build seems almost laconic for animation in general, much less John K directed animation, Which is why it would be beautiful to see you at least board it, if not time it.

Of course, getting actual rights to the song is the bugger.

I'm not sure how someone like Disney Channel did it when they would simply edit old clips to songs they might not actually own themselves. It is possible there was more bartering and trading than fees.

Lovely song. It reminds me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSiU1T_w0-8 which was made by the greek compositor Vangelis during the 80's in an attempt to imitate this genre of music; it was done for the Blade Runner movie. By de way, John, do you know something about this book? Is it maybe the spanish edition of a book you know?: http://www.yagotoon.com.ar/boletines/boletin%2043/libro.jpghttp://www1.dreamers.com/productos/42053_DIBUJOS_ANIMADOS_EL_DIBUJO_DE_HISTORIETAS_A_SU_ALCANCE.htmlThanks for all.

The setting for this song would be deep within a jungle in the darkest reaches of the Amazon. Not to far fetched from the Popeye cartoon you just showed us although without the comedic relief. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcySWdHnvxA

Hey, John, I love it! Im hungry for work in something like this. If I could help, I give you my hand, of course, for free, just I want to learn and improve my self with the old (and sadly) lost principles from the golden years of animation.

Forgive the repost, John. this question is just much more appropriate for this thread than one about product design.(I've deleted the old one)

I've been curious as to whether you find any good stuff musically in Gorillaz.

I think there's some real talent and appeal involved, but someone in production seems to be under the impression that rap is a legitimate form of art, as many potentially good songs have been comprised by the likes of "MF Doom" and "Del tha Funkee Homosapien"

I like the main chorus of "Clint Eastwood" But am immediately turned off by the recurring rap segment, which, at the very least, sounds like an honest, if failed, attempt at communication and doesn't entirely break up the song's rhythm.

Clint Eastwood

Of course, the great designs and animation make everything more bearable, and makes me wonder if the artists are at odds with what they're executing.

There is a song by Blind Willie McTell that I would love to animate. A little movie always plays in my head when I hear it.It's called Talkin' to you mama and can be found here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqeAFnYVBkw

I have always envisioned this song as an all-star cartoon dance party. All our favorite, classic characters grooving together in the church of their choice (ONLY IN AMERICA!!!) - concluding with Stimpy @2:27, doing his Muddy Mudskipper dance!!!

*And then Ren moving out in front of him, bouncing along like either the hop-along in the new master's house at the end of Big House Blues or the scat-singing drink delivery in Sven Hoek, your pick. (I'm partial to the former just in this case, despite the latter being both cooler and funnier.)

Also, before anyone else mentions it, (yes, I am unbelievably vain, what's it to you?) the Nilsson video is undoubtedly VERY much a nod to Ernie Kovacs' "Nairobi Trio" sketch.

"If I Didn't Care" animated? All we need is a cartoonist who can do a good caricature of Redd Foxx, who performed the old standard many times on SANFORD AND SON.

I myself did Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" for my own comic book...that's one of the ballad songs, about 11-and-a-half minutes long counting the instrumental harmonica bridge. I'd like to see it animated, but kid's attention spans are so shot now you can barely get six minutes out of them.
